“Why are they spending money unnecessarily when they could put it to better use and resurface the roads – there are plenty of potholes to repair.”

A council spokesman said: “We are aware of some residents’ concerns regarding this particular bus stop.

“Nothing is set in stone and we will continue in dialogue in the future to hopefully reach a conclusion that is acceptable to all parties.

“The reason for proposing to move the bus stop is that previous research has shown that bus users want better facilities which we are trying to achieve across the number 13 route. Initially we were looking to place a bus shelter along the route including the stop on Cheveral Avenue.

“This was not possible in the original location and therefore we proposed to move it slightly further away on the straight part of the road where it was possible to install a bus shelter.”
